The sweep shot is played to a ball from a slower bowler that ideally pitches around leg stump.

This is one of the most effective shots in limited overs cricket, bringing batsman plenty of runs if played correctly.

You need to get a good stride in with your front foot, keeping your back foot behind the crease.

Bend the back leg so that you go down on one knee.

If you don't try and hit the ball too hard you should score plenty of runs with this shot.
